Frigid Close To The Work Week…Arctic high pressure will be centered over the Ohio Valley as we close out the work week.  While this will lead to a mostly sunny sky, downright frigid conditions can be expected.  The day will dawn with temperatures solidly below zero and include wind chill values as cold as 30 degrees below- a painfully cold start to the day, needless to say.

Watching A Weekend Snow Maker…We continue to keep a close eye on the weekend as another round of accumulating snow waits on deck.  Questions remain as to just how much snow accumulates and while model data continues to suggest we’re only looking at a light, 1-3″, weekend snow event at the moment, the chance is still there that modeling begins to trend a little more “robust” with upper level energy as it crosses the Ohio Valley.  High snow ratios will be at play here, meaning we’ll squeeze out more than the usual 1″ of snow for every 10th of an inch of liquid.  We bracket Saturday afternoon into Sunday morning as the best chance of accumulating snow, but note this timing could change as we move through the next 24 hours.  Stay tuned.

Weekend Snow Bookended By A Bitter Feel…A fresh blast of bitterly cold air will pour into the Ohio Valley and Mid West region to kick off the new work week.  Temperatures will average more than 20 degrees colder than seasonal levels to begin the new work week and feature at least one, if not two, night(s) below zero.  The brutally cold, snowy winter of 2013-2014 just keeps on keeping on…

Watching The Southern Stream…Model data is really struggling in the longer term and it has to do with how each respected model set handles energy in the southern and northern branch of the jet stream.  We’re taking a “middle of the line” approach for now, including chances of snow the middle of next week.
